FIFA Packs And Loot Boxes 'Not Gambling' In UK (They're Totes Gambling Though)

The UK Gambling Commission has decided loot boxes do not fall under their jurisdiction, allowing Electronic Arts' FIFA Packs and similar predatory business models to survive in Britain.

This news isn't particularly surprising, considering technology moves fast and the law moves slow. And while many may expect me to be livid, I've been getting what I want - I want the concerns around loot boxes to get serious discussion, and that's what we've been getting.

The conversation is far from over, and companies like EA are far from done with having to justify their unethical and despicable behavior.
